hey guys i thinking of buying a jydll for a beater for work but im getting sick of all the thin linerlocks on these knives that have come out in the last year or two from what i saw of the pics of the jydll it seems to be a thick liner could some one measure the lock and let me know how thick it is

thanks guys

Yeah, that Tim Galyean guy ;) designed a good one in the JYD2. As I've said before you get the best of both frame lock and liner lock. My JYD2 has been put through some pretty rigorous testing and hard, general use, and I trust the lock.

Google, my friend. Or THIS Web site is pretty useful also. The "Search" button is your friend.

Lee,

The lock is .070"-.075" thick. Hope that helps.[/QUOTET

Tim thank you

That is the info i was looking for i am getting tired of the paper thin locks on a lot of knives that are out there you could lose a finger with one of those knives.

With a lock size of .070-.075 i will be able to use the jydll with no fear of it closing if i have to use it hard or abuse it a little to get the job done.
